The student is now told that the four solids, in no particular order, are aluminum chloride (AlCl3), sugar (C6H12O6), benzoic ac

id (C6H5COOH), and sodium bromide (NaBr). Assuming that conductivity is correlated to the number of ions in solution, rank the four substances based on how well a 0.20 M solution in water will conduct electricity. Rank from most conductive to least conductive. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them. View Available Hint(s)

Answer:

AlCl₃, NaBr, C₆H₅COOH, C₆H₁₂O₆.

Explanation:

The more ions in solution, the greater the conductivity of a solution because these charged particles can carry electrons in the solution.

In the first place, when AlCl₃ dissolves in water it produces 4 ions:

AlCl₃(aq) ⇄ Al³⁺(aq) + 3 Cl⁻(aq)

If the solution is 0.20M in AlCl₃, it will be 4 x 0.20M = 0.80M in ions.

Secondly, NaBr is a strong electrolyte (<em>complete ionization</em>) so it produces 2 moles of ions per each mole of NaBr dissolved:

NaBr(aq) ⇄ Na⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)

If the solution is 0.20M in NaBr, it will be 2 x 0.20M = 0.40M in ions.

Then, benzoic acid is a weak electrolyte (<em>partial ionization</em>) so it will produce <em>less than</em> 2 moles of ions per each mole of benzoic acid dissolved:

C₆H₅COOH(aq) ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

If the solution is 0.20M in benzoic acid, the solution will be far below 0.40M in ions.

Finally, sugar has only nonpolar covalent bonds so it will produce no ions in solution, thus being a poor electricity conductor.

Which of the following is most likely to cause the particles in a chemical change to slow down
Nady [450]
C. Lowering the temperature

At the lower temperature, particles have less kinetic energy, so they move slower.

Which law states that the volume and absolute temperature of a fixed quantity of gas are directly proportional under constant pr
Delvig [45]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: Charle's Law.

<h2>Why?</h2>

The law that states that the volume and absolute temperature of a fixed quantity of gas (ideal gas) are proportional under constant pressure is the Charle's Law, also known as the law of volumes.

The law describes how a gas kept under constant pressure tends to expand when the temperature increases and it's described by the following equation:

\frac{V}{T}=k

Where,

V=Volume\\T=Temperature\\k=constant

Also, to describe the relationship between two differents volumes at different temperatures, we have:

\frac{V_{i}}{T_{i}}=\frac{V_{f}}{T_{f}}

Where,

V_{i}=InitialVolume\\T_{i}=InitialTemperature\\V_{f}=FinalVolume\\T_{f}=FinalTemperature

Have a nice day!
